Interconnectedness of the world today is economically justified, it does not have any morality in it. In the same vein, if we would have to listen to your anti-morality point of vi…

Yes, they should check for any possible breaches. As any other responsbile company already does, like AWS for example which not only checks for breaches, but also scans public repo…

To be fair, data retention is a hot topic right now in Europe, the pandemic and the increased screen time that resulted from it, the amount of accounts we had to create left and ri…

Do you have a paid account or a free account? If I store my documents on a free account for a one time send to the university application and then I forget about it, then Dropbox s…

I totally support this. It still amazes me that companies still do not delete/anonymize user accounts after periods of inactivity. Everything that is linked to your email address s…

In Romania there's an old question to find the character of somebody: are you Roman or Greek? Because if you are Roman, you put practice above theory, you are a pragmatist, skeptic…

I think the JVM would also be a good choice once Loom lands. I've seen that right now the Java architects are trying to unify the ALGOL flavored Java with ML in the sense of algebr…

The complexity that comes from the zero-cost abstractions promoted by both C++ and Rust here isn’t in performance (not runtime nor compiletime) but in programmer reasoning and refa…

I agree with you, I believe that simulators, games, software that are "walled-gardens" in the sense that they don't have a lot of interactions with the external world aside from IO…

This is why I prefer to write core components in C and then call them through the FFI available in the Java, Python or Node runtimes. Or you can go the "zero-cost abstraction" path…

I think PHP gets all the clapping when in fact the statistic that the majority of the Internet uses it to power its services is misleading. Let's face it, Wordpress is a great proj…

There's no point in creating a new VM, given that you can target almost everything by supporting JVM, CLR, BEAM, V8(JS transpiler) or LLVM/WASM for C-like languages. All you need i…

And even on Android, many open-source projects decide to use Java as they can have access to a wider pool of programmers (Signal, etc). C# is only decreasing in usage, the runtime …

Aside from nullable types, I don't see any other feature that Java could borrow from Kotlin today to improve. Java looks up to Scala and Clojure to get ideas, there are some strong…

What are the innovations brought by Allegro and Lisp Works, relative to Clojure? Just asking as I haven't heard about those, I only have experience with Clj.

No, they are JavaScript, it is array based programming wrapped in a reactive functional-declarative approach. Simply array of objects cascading with state. {#await promise} is more…

Same experience, I've started working with React when Hooks were introduced in a greenfield project. My last experience with JavaScript was jQuery and Angular 1. I was blown away b…

Isn't this what the GraalVM [1] guys are also trying to do? Seems like today the competition is between who is more polyglot than the other, JVM, CLR or WASM. [1] https://github.co…
